BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO Tires

One of the most popular aftermarket all terrain tires today
is found in the BF Goodrich complete line of off road tires. The "BFG
T/A KO" has been used on just about every conceivable type of off road
vehicle from show trucks to full out race vehicles with the results other manufactures
are just proud to be compared to.

Our experiences with these tires have been nothing but good.
We have used them while working in the silt and gravel beaches of Cook Inlet
Alaska and in the open tundra along the Denali Highway. Snow and ice driving
is possible but this is one of the places where the T/A KO's were outshined
by other AT's tires available in the market.

Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO Reviews

Review BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO Tires for the Chevy Silverado 1500 as
an alternative to stock tires when used both on and off road.

Initially we had a set of the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO on our sons Silverado
and those tire got to see plenty of hard abuse in a number of off-road environments.
The tires started out smooth and quiet on the highway but got considerably
louder as the tread wore away. By 10,000 miles they sounded like some of the
ultra-aggressive bias plies and not the street friendly all-terrain tires they
are grouped with.

On the beach the tires were great as they didn't dig excessively and,
when aired down, would float on top of the sand and gravel. Getting going from
a dead stop requires a bit of finesse compared to other tires but nothing that
a little practice couldn't overcome. When aired down we would like
a little more flex in the sidewalls for beach use as the bottomless gravel
and incoming tide is relentless on a vehicle when it gets stuck in these locations.
More flexible sidewalls like found with the Dick Cepek Fun Country really ads
to the tires traction when airing a tire down.

Mud, clay or any sticky, gooey substance renders a knock-out punch to the
BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires. These tires are less than adequate for
any serious severe conditions with mud like conditions. If encountered in an
intermittent situation, the BFG All-Terrain T/A KO can get the job done. They
are just not a good choice if driving in mud and goo is typically something
the tire must tackle. We find the “Cooper
ST MAXX” or “Pro
Comp Xtreme All Terrain” to be a better tire choice when your driving
demands lean more towards mud than sand.

The BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires are at home on the street. Handling
is as good as it gets for a vehicle capable of exiting the blacktop at any time.
Neither wet nor dry pavement was a problem for the T/A KO's and in dryer
snow they performed well to. It was in the wet snow and ice that the tires felt
like they were out matched. Starting and stopping in ice and snow was less than
perfect and on hills was at times, hair raising. Even though the tires we were
using were snow rated and had the Snowflake in the Mountain symbol, we were less
than happy with their performance in a number of situations.
